Aircraft Propulsion and Gas Turbine Engines, Second Edition builds upon the success of the book’s first edition, with the addition of three major topic areas: Piston Engines with integrated propeller coverage; Pump Technologies; and Rocket Propulsion. The rocket propulsion section extends the text’s coverage so that both Aerospace and Aeronautical topics can be studied and compared. Numerous updates have been made to reflect the latest advances in turbine engines, fuels, and combustion. The text is now divided into three parts, the first two devoted to air breathing engines, and the third covering non-air breathing or rocket engines. Features Provides a readable, up-to-date as well as future trends of aircraft and rocket propulsion systems Adds coverage of piston engines and propeller technology that power Unmanned Air Vehicles and small aircraft Describes utilization of airbreathing engines in rockets for extended range Adds pump technology topics and biofuels for aircraft Includes a
